Welcome Rob Edgecock University of Huddersfield UK Eu

Welcome! Rob Edgecock University of Huddersfield, UK § Eu. CARD 2 § WP 4: Applications of Accelerators § Some aims of the workshop Eu. CARD-2 is co-funded by the partners and the European Commission under Capacities 7 th Framework Programme, Grant Agreement 312453

Eu. CARD 2 § Third in a series of FP 6/7 IAs on Accelerator R&D: • Coordinated Accelerator Research in Europe (FP 6) - 2003 to 2007 - coordinated by CEA - 22 partners • European Coordination for Accelerator Research and Development - 2008 to 2013 - coordinated by CERN - 37 partners • Enhanced European Coordination for Accelerator Research and Development - 2013 to 2017 - coordinated by CERN - 40 partners § Preparations for #4 under way

WP 4: Accelerator Applications Objectives: § Determine and document the applications of accelerators § Look for limitations, areas that need improvement and possible new applications § Assess whether technology from RIs can help § Stepwise approach: § Study all applications – now finished § Focus on applications with most potential – started § Aim to create new collaborations to undertake studies and possibly apply to H 2020 for funding § Report on what has been learnt

Objectives § Task 1: Coordination - Rob Edgecock (Huddersfield) § Task 2: Low energy accelerators – Marco Cavenago (INFN) § Task 3: Intermediate energy proton and ion accelerators – Marco Schippers & David Meer (PSI) § Task 4: High beam power proton and ion accelerators – Giulia Bellodi (CERN) § Task 5: High beam power targets – Hywel Owen (Manchester) § Website at: http: //eucardapplications. hud. ac. uk/

Past Workshops § § § Modern hadron therapy gantry developments – UMAN & PSI Accelerators for accelerator driven systems - CERN Accelerator based neutron production (ABNP 2014) – INFN Electron beams for industrial and environmental applications – HUD Compact muon sources – HUD Compact accelerators for radioisotope production – UMAN Laser plasma targetry workshop - HUD Applications of Particle Accelerators in Europe (APAE) – HUD Reliability of ADS accelerators - CERN Young researchers BNCT meeting - Pavia Superconductivity and other new developments in gantry design for particle therapy - PSI

Future Workshops o Ion beam therapy – 18 th-20 th January 2016 - Birmingham o Intense and Powerful Accelerator Beams for industrial and energy application - 14 -15 March 2016 - LNL o 4 th International Workshop on Accelerator-Driven Sub-critical Systems & Thorium Utilization - Huddersfield o Various others under consideration

APAE Grew out of a symposium in 2009, sponsored by the U. S. Department of Energy, on the uses and needs of accelerators for the discovery science, energy and environment, defense and security, industrial, and medical communities. See the website at: http: //www. acceleratorsamerica. org/

APAE document § Doing the equivalent for Europe § Applications of Particle Accelerators in Europe § International Organising Committee formed § Conveners identified § Kick-off meeting last June § Two documents planned: - 2 to 4 page document for policy makers - 80 page back-up document § Chapter contents defined § Mid-term meeting at beginning of February

Aims of this Workshop § Ion beam therapy available in only a few countries § Interest in others in having it § Cost and size are obstacles § Focus here on cost reduction § One possible option is helium: - lower energy - smaller - intermediate between protons and carbon - smaller fragmentation tail than carbon § Discuss and review possibilities § Identify next steps § More detailed workshop is possible before the end of Eu.
